    Parents of young Black men and boys are familiar with “the talk,” the conversation about how to survive encounters with law enforcement. It’s an unfortunate necessity. ICE is now indiscriminately asking Black folks for their papers and detaining them. We got a question from one of YOU about how this new reality affects “the talk.” The answer is much the same as it's always been BUT we appreciate the reminder that it is a good time to refresh our kids on “the talk.” ALSO we got an update from one of our viewers on the political situation in Tanzania.

    On episode 115 of Native Land Pod, hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers are joined by guest host, Don Lemon. Conservatives (including recent convert Nicki Minaj) are calling for Don’s arrest after he covered a protest that occurred inside of a church. We’ll talk with him about the incident and so much more… FOR YOUR SITUATIONAL AWARENESS: – Trump gives a deranged Greenland speech at Davos. – Is Donald Trump Okay? Recent statements call his mental acuity into question. – Minnesota Police Officers say they are NOT safe with ICE – Why is the NCAA Football Championship team SO Old? – Pro Palestine: NFL Player Fined – Nicki Minaj Calls for the Arrest of Don Lemon – How Dems Expect Us to React When They Cuss Is it OK to protest inside of a church? That’s exactly what happened earlier this week when protestors in St. Paul disrupted a church service. The pastor for the church is a field director for the local ICE office. Don Lemon covered this protest as a journalist and rightwing media is now calling him a criminal for it. That’s obviously bull sh*t but do WE think it’s OK to protest at church?? Our hosts debate… 24 members of Congress are 80 or older, and many of them are running for re-election. We’ve seen politicians on both sides of the aisle (Mitch McConnell, Diane Feinstein, Joe Biden, to name a few) who continue to work and hold senior positions when it’s CLEAR they are no longer fit.

    The NBA isn't “American property” anymore — and this year's All-Star voting made that impossible to ignore. Ric Bucher breaks down why the top fan vote-getters being international stars isn't a problem… it's the point. But there's a twist: the players' vote tells a very different story than the fans and media, raising an uncomfortable question about who the league's real hierarchy respects.Then: Ric takes aim at the “free throw merchant” label on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, previews the new All-Star format (Americans vs. foreigners), and explains why it might finally bring competitive juice back to All-Star weekend.And in a hard left turn into culture + business: Ric calls out the optics of Nike/LeBron's MLK Day shoe release, and closes with a look at Jeanie Buss, the Buss family, and the future of the Lakers, including the resentment over the Bronny roster spot and why Steve Ballmer's financial advantage may have forced Jeanie's hand.Time Stamps00:00 “Cooking with gas” + show intro00:41 Ric announces upcoming book on being coachable01:41 NBA → “IBA”: the league's global takeover is complete02:19 All-Star vote shocker: Luka/Giannis/Jokic lead — and fans don't care where you're from03:07 Deni Avdija leapfrogs Anthony Edwards: how did that happen?04:34 Why the league changed voting rules after Zaza Pachulia05:08 Ric's theory: Ant's off-court noise may be costing him votes06:40 Players vs fans/media: who actually respects which stars?08:45 SGA isn't a “free throw merchant” — blame the whistle, not the scorer10:07 New All-Star format: Americans vs foreigners — and why internationals may have something to prove12:41 Social media's “everything is debatable” disease + Ric's contrarian code13:39 Nike + LeBron MLK shoe: “sounds wrong” and gets worse the more you explain it16:41 The real lesson: stars need advisors who say “no”20:04 Jeanie Buss + Lakers sale strategy: what's new (and what isn't)21:12 The Bronny favor and why some Lakers voices feel unappreciated26:14 Ballmer's money changed the Lakers' reality — and Jeanie's endgame27:50 Wrap-up + what Ric might cover next (Raptors/Warriors locker rooms)#OnTheBall #RicBucher #NBA #AllStar #LukaDoncic #GiannisAntetokounmpo #NikolaJokic #AnthonyEdwards #DeniAvdija #ShaiGilgeousAlexander #VictorWembanyama #LeBronJames #Nike #MLKDay #Lakers #JeanieBuss #BronnyJames #UnitedWeCastSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/bucher-and-friends.

    Dr. Jerome Corsi breaks down a major U.S. Supreme Court ruling that could permanently change how election integrity cases are litigated across the country.Dr. Corsi analyzes the Court's decision in Bost v. Illinois State Board of Elections, which affirms that candidates for federal office now have legal standing to challenge unlawful election rules before an election takes place. This ruling overturns years of precedent that blocked election lawsuits by claiming no one had standing to sue — a legal barrier that shut down nearly all election challenges after 2020. At the center of the case is Illinois' rule allowing mail-in ballots to be counted for up to two weeks after Election Day. Dr. Corsi explains why such extensions create systemic vulnerabilities and open the door to fraud, manipulation, and post-election ballot manufacturing.He then connects this ruling to broader evidence of voter-roll corruption, algorithmic manipulation, illegal immigrant registrations, and mail-in ballot abuse across multiple states — arguing that this decision finally allows courts to hear cases that were previously dismissed without review.

The chair of the Federal Reserve, which sets our nationwide interest rates, is under investigation by the Trump administration. A stalwart bureaucrat, Jerome Powell made a rare public statement about the investigation, claiming that it’s politically motivated, and an attack on the independence of the Federal Reserve. Let’s back it up, what does the Federal Reserve do again? Why is their independence important, and why are our hosts so SHOCKED by Jerome Powell’s statement?

The film follows an estranged couple (Kerry Washington and Omar Sy) with a bounty on their heads who must go on the run with their son to avoid their former employer, a unit of shadow ops that has been sent to kill them. The random topic is about the unjust murder of Renee Good in Minneapolis at the hand of an ICE agent. The crew discuss what the larger implications of her death will be on the entirety of what's happening in the US at the hands of a seemingly rogue military-like response from the Trump/Vance administration's ICE agency.

    This episode of On The Ball hits two hot-button topics with one throughline: who gets to shape the story—players, fans, media… or the loudest clip on social media.First, Ric breaks down his NBA All-Star starting fives and why this year's ballot was shockingly simple—while the bigger question looms: what happens if LeBron James doesn't “make it” the traditional way? Ric digs into the realities of fan/media/player voting, the new All-Star format, and why the definition of “All-Star” keeps shifting.Then the conversation pivots to the viral Jacksonville Jaguars postgame press conference moment—and why the internet's reaction says more about society's trust in media than it does about one reporter's etiquette. Ric explains the old-school rules (“no cheering in the press box”), how they've been blurred, and why “anti-journalism” rage has become a profitable brand.Timestamps0:00 “We're cooking with gas” + show intro0:39 Where to find Ric (FS1 / Fox Sports Radio) + third book tease (“coachable”)1:27 Why this episode goes beyond the NBA1:57 Ric's All-Star ballot: starters + why it was “the easiest” ever2:39 New All-Star format: Americans vs Internationals + round-robin breakdown3:24 How voting works: fans / media / players—and why it matters4:20 Ric's East starters + West starters (and the “free-throw merchant” jab)5:02 The Scottie Barnes dilemma + why closers get rewarded5:41 The LeBron question: where fans have him—and why player voting is the wildcard7:10 Fixing the system: how Ric would restructure All-Star voting8:16 The viral Jaguars presser moment: what happened, what people missed10:26 “No cheering in the press box”: why decorum still matters20:56 ESPN, fame, and the collapse of old media lines23:26 Pat McAfee's rant—and Ric's response to the hypocrisy25:01 The key point: compassion isn't the issue—time and place is28:44 Wrap-up + sponsor (Mizzen+Main) + promo code#OnTheBall #RicBucher #NBA #AllStar #NBAAllStar #LeBronJames #ShaiGilgeousAlexander #LukaDoncic #NikolaJokic #VictorWembanyama #AnthonyEdwards #GiannisAntetokounmpo #JalenBrunson #CadeCunningham #TyreseMaxey #JalenBrown #SportsMedia #Journalism #UnitedWeCastSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/bucher-and-friends.

    Iran, Israel & the CIA: When “Conspiracy” Starts Sounding Plausible | The Karel Show The word conspiracy gets thrown around easily — but sometimes the real-world facts are disturbing enough on their own. As protests erupt in Iran, the political fallout gives Donald Trump fresh justification to escalate tensions. The question becomes: who benefits if conflict expands? Israel? The United States? Powerful interests that thrive on instability? Karel examines why so many people are now willing to believe scenarios that once felt unthinkable — and what it says about the era we're living in. Meanwhile, the Senate makes a stunning move that effectively gives Trump wide latitude in Venezuela, raising serious questions about power, resources, and accountability — and why so few seem to be paying attention. Also in this episode: • Why the facts are often scarier than conspiracy theories • Why Karel is skeptical of CBS News' reporting on the alleged “internal bleeding” of an ICE officer • Voting season for the SAG Awards and Dorian Awards — and why this year's film slate feels oddly underwhelming The Karel Show delivers thoughtful, unfiltered commentary on global politics, media narratives, and culture — without the shouting or fear-bait.

    We applaud a victory for local democracy this week in little Greenleaf, Wisocnsin. When Big Tech came calling, local residents pushed back so quickly on a proposed data center that the developers immediately pulled out. We put the Greenleaf story in perspective, taking a deep dive into the details of bills from Legislative Republicans and Democrats, and commitments so far by candidates for Governor, to create a framework for regulating data centers. Are the current proposals enough to make sure the data center binge will not jack up already high utility rates, and prevent a response to global warming at the scale and urgency of the crisis? We also evaluate the first 2026 Affordable Care Act enrollment numbers in the aftermath of the end of enhanced affordability subsidies. Will the enrollment numbers get worse without meaningful action by Congress? We close with the ongoing attempt to criminalize dissent at the state Capitol.

    Dr. Jerome Corsi breaks down a landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision that could fundamentally change how election integrity cases are handled nationwide.Dr. Corsi analyzes the 7–2 ruling in Bost v. Illinois State Board of Elections, in which the Supreme Court affirmed that candidates for federal office have standing to challenge unlawful election procedures before an election is decided. This ruling directly reverses years of lower-court precedent that blocked election challenges by claiming no one had legal standing. At the center of the case is the issue of mail-in ballots counted after Election Day, a practice Dr. Corsi argues creates systemic vulnerabilities that undermine public trust. The Court ruled that candidates are harmed not only by losing elections, but by unfair electoral processes themselves, affirming that fair procedures are essential to constitutional governance.

    For decades, political scientists believed that a person's occupation was the strongest predictor of how they would vote. Manual, working-class jobs were associated with left-wing voting, while white-collar professions leaned right.In recent years, however, this class-based model has been challenged. Education level and age now often predict voting behaviour more accurately than occupation, alongside the growing importance of cultural and identity-based issues such as immigration, gender, and morality.But does this mean economic status no longer matters in politics? According to new research, the answer is no. Economic status remains a powerful predictor of voting behaviour - but the foundations of that status have changed. Rather than occupation, housing has emerged as a central factor shaping political preferences.In this episode, Prof Alan Renwick explores this shift with Josh Goddard, a PhD student in the UCL Department of Political Science, whose research sheds new light on how housing has become a key driver of political divides.Mentioned in this episode:Josh Goddard (2026) Housing and electoral behaviour: The changing face of class voting in advanced democracies.

    The conversation delves into the legal implications surrounding executive sessions held by city councils, particularly focusing on a potential settlement related to a police shooting case. Legal expert Steve Gooden discusses the protocols that should be followed during executive sessions, the authority of city solicitors in settling lawsuits, and the political sensitivities involved in such cases. The discussion highlights the importance of transparency and accountability in local government actions, especially when dealing with sensitive legal matters. Takeaways Executive sessions must state the subject matter before convening. Public officials can only discuss certain topics in executive sessions. Voting on settlements must occur in public sessions. Transparency is crucial for taxpayer trust. Legal protocols exist to guide executive session discussions. City solicitors have limited authority to settle lawsuits. Council approval is needed for significant settlements. Political sensitivity is heightened in wrongful death cases. Taxpayer lawsuits can be a recourse for violations of transparency. Public response can influence political accountability. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Policies aside–Obama was such a powerful symbol for Black America. His presidency also inspired a powerful backlash. Our hosts discuss the legacy of Obama and the symbolism of Obama as they ask: was it worth it? Join our hosts, Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers.

We heard y’all want us to get to more topics, well, here we go: For Your Situational Awareness Pastor Jamal Bryant catches heat for his wife’s dress? MAGA-coded CBS news anchor Tony Dokoupil bombs on his first day. Incumbent Tim Walz Drops Out of the Minnesota governor race. Trump accidentally gives Democrats their best ad for the midterms. War in Venezuela? What’s it really about? What the heck is happening with Venezuela?? Trump has declared that the United States is going to control the country. Whose interests does this supposed occupation serve, how did we reach this point, and where could we be headed? Random as they may seem, there is a throughline through all the global conflicts the US gets involved in… Is it AI-generated? Our hosts play a game to see if they can detect which video is AI.

    On this week’s SoloPod, we mark the 5th anniversary of the attack on the US Capital building by a mob of Trump supporters–the infamous January 6th insurrection. At the start of his second term, Trump issued a blanket pardon to the J6 insurrectionists, releasing them from prison. The pardons are a part of MAGA’s ongoing effort to rewrite the history of J6 and downplay the violent actions of those involved. Check out how the White House is “commemorating” January 6th: https://www.whitehouse.gov/j6/ Today's guest is one of the Capital Police officers who defended the capital building and fought with the rioters. He testified to Congress about what he saw that day, wrote a memoir about his experience, and run for public office in Maryland. His testimony is vital now more than ever.
